Petition to Revoke Tolerances Established for Carbaryl; Notice of Availability

Samenvatting

EPA is seeking public comment on a January 10, 2005, petition from the Washington Toxics Coalition (Washington Toxics), available in docket number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0801, requesting that the Agency revoke all tolerances for the pesticide carbaryl. The petitioner, Washington Toxics, requests this action to obtain what they believe would be proper application of the safety standards of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), section 408, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. Washington Toxics is filing this petition in response to a Notice of Availability for the Carbaryl Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision (IRED), published in the Federal Register on October 27, 2004. The carbaryl IRED is available on the website http://www.regulations.gov under docket number EPA-HQ-OPP- 2003-0376 and on the Agency's pesticide web page, http://www.epa.gov/ pesticides/reregistration/status.htm.
